Build failed- ejb3.deployer not found

[mishug Goyal]

Hi,

I am working on an EJB application and using EJB 3.0 and JBoss 6.0.
While building it through Ant , I am getting build failed error - ejb3.deployer not found.


kindly help to resolve this problem.

Thanks.

Please post the relevant part of the build script and also the entire error that you are seeing.

Seems that the problem actually occurs at deployment phase and not when the application is built. Generally it means that for some reason the following can't be found "PATH_TO_JBOSS\jboss\server\default\deployers\ejb3.deployer\". Waiting for more details from you...

That location (and many other things) have changed in AS 6. So you'll have to update your build script accordingly. That specific folder is now in JBOSS_HOME/server/<servername>/deployers.
